System
 
Partition
 
The
 
ServerGuide
 
program
 
creates
 
a
 
50
 
MB
 
System
 
Partition
 
on
 
the
 
default
 
drive.
 
The
 
System
 
Partition
 
contains
 
server-specific
 
utility
 
programs
 
such
 
as
 
service-processor
 
disk
 
operating
 
system
 
(DOS)
 
utilities,
 
system
 
diagnostics,
 
flash
 
BIOS
 
updates,
 
and
 
other
 
programs.
 
Programs
 
in
 
the
 
System
 
Partition
 
vary
 
by
 
server
 
model,
 
and
 
not
 
all
 
server
 
models
 
run
 
utility
 
programs
 
from
 
the
 
System
 
Partition.
 
To
 
determine
 
which
 
ones
 
do,
 
start
 
the
 
ServerGuide
 
Setup
 
and
 
Installation
 
CD
 
and
 
view
 
the
 
online
 
overview.
 
After
 
setup
 
is
 
complete,
 
you
 
can
 
access
 
programs
 
in
 
the
 
System
 
Partition
 
by
 
restarting
 
the
 
server
 
and
 
pressing
 
Alt+F1
 
when
 
the
 
prompt
 
is
 
displayed.
 
The
 
System
 
Partition
 
menu
 
displays
 
the
 
programs
 
that
 
are
 
available
 
on
 
your
 
server
 
model.
